If you self-host in the cloud, you can use an encrypted volume if you 
like, but given that volume can boot without a passphrase, it doesn't 
provide *that* much security.  A few people will use FUSE mounts for the 
likes of S3 or similar, then encrypt that data... it'd be at rest across 
a different system than the server itself, which is slightly better.

Getting my pihole and wireguard setup this weekend, at least that's the 
plan.
